I guess zeroconf for P8 will be set after Pharo 7 release.
For now I get manually a Pharo 8 image from files.pharo.org and I use
the Pharo 7 VM to contribute.

There is only few fixex that will still be integrated in P7 for the release.
While the Pharo 7 development is still active there is often a merge

After P7 I guess backported issues will be integrated in the P7 and P8 branches.
